The Scottish yacht Thistle which is
Oh her way 20 America to sail for the
international cup is estimated by an
English authority to be about IA min
utes faster over Il 40-mlle course than
the Galatea. The Mayhower beat the
Galatea last summer in a stiff breeze II
minutes over a 40-mile course. On Fri
day Of last week the new Yankee yacht
Volunteer beat the Mayfower Over s
minutes, so that il appears as if the
cup will remain in this country when
the race comes off.
